While you may contact any member of the Somnova Team for applications, it is highly advisable that you do either KosherBacon, Hamadyne, or myself, as we are the most involved members of the writing team at the moment.

Requirements cannot really be made in terms of wordcount, since wordcount does not a scene make (quoth Gloom), but according to our current estimates, we're ideally talking about 8-10 scenes within the next half a year or so. In broad strokes, I would say a little less than two scenes per month on average. It's a lot of very intensive work, but on the bright side, the circumstances of the vacant position mean that they'll be given creative freedom which is almost unheard of in the field. Make your own judgement.

Oh! I'm a semi-professional writer and I've been following Missing Stars and Somnova's journey for a long time. I'm really excited to see that you have an opening for a writer and I'd love to apply but unfortunately I don't seem able to private message anybody on this forum, so what would be the best way of getting in touch?

I don't mind publishing either! I'm Ultra_HR basically everywhere, so if you search that on Skype you should be able to find me (there are one or two other accounts with a similar name, but mine is the only one that uses an _ as far as I know). Alternatively, my email address is Ultra_HR[at]outlook.com

I'll also throw my hat in the ring. As Ultra said, PMs don't work here, so feel free to delete this post if it seems like a shameless plug: Most of my stuff is on the Katawa Shoujo boards here. Feel free to PM me there or just reply to this comment if you have to.

Thanks for the encouraging response, everyone. We've had no shortage of talented applicants reach out to us. If anyone else wants to try out, let us know by June 4th. You can leave contact information in this thread, an application in the recruitment forum, or a message to Gloom, Hamadyne, or myself.
